Measure at home in 2 minutes
You need a strip of paper (or a string or shoelace), a pen and a ruler.
- Take a string or a shoelace and mark on it the length you are considering, for example 50 cm.
- Hold the two marks together at the back of your neck, wearing the kind of top you usually wear.
- Look in a mirror: the lowest point of the string is where the chain will sit.
- Too high or too low? Try 5 cm more or less: that is one size up or down.
Already own a chain you like? Lay it flat, clasp closed, and measure it end to end. A broad neck or chest makes every length sit a little higher.
No ruler? A bank card is 8.6 cm long: count how many fit along your strip.
Still unsure? Ask us, a real person replies within 24 hours.

How to wear it
The chain is 49 cm with a 5 cm extender, so it can sit just above the upper chest or drop to about 54 cm. A small heart rests near the neckline and the 11 x 17 mm cross falls a little below it, drawing a soft vertical line. It is made for a V-neck, an open collar, a wrap dress or a fine knit.
The stainless steel does not rust, so it can stay on in the shower and at the gym. Gold-tone looks warm with cream and camel, silver with gray and navy. It suits an anniversary, Mother's Day or a confirmation.
Questions
How low does the cross of The Graceful Y hang?
The 49 cm chain sits just below the collarbone, the small heart rests at the fork of the Y and the 11 x 17 mm cross drops a little lower. With the 5 cm extender it all moves down to the upper chest.
What does the heart above the cross on The Graceful Y mean?
Love. Together, the heart and the cross speak of God's love and of the call to love one another.
What is a Y necklace?
A necklace with a short vertical drop in front, shaped like a Y. Here the heart sits at the fork and the cross hangs at the end.
Can I wear it to work every day?
Yes. It is small and discreet enough for the office, and the stainless steel does not rust or turn your skin green, even in the shower.
Can The Graceful Y be layered with a choker?
Yes. The Y shape leaves the base of the neck free, so a short chain or choker around 40 cm sits neatly above it.
Is it a good confirmation gift for a young woman?
Yes. It is elegant enough for work or a dinner out, so she will keep wearing it long after the ceremony.

Its meaning
The heart and the cross together
Christians have long placed the heart beside the cross. The cross recalls the death of Christ, and the Gospel of John gives its reason in his own words: greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends. The heart stands for that love, and for the love believers try to return. Set side by side, the two say that the cross is first a story of love. This Y necklace runs a fine chain to a small heart, with a cross that falls just below it, in...
Giving it as a gift
Pretty for an anniversary, or for your mom when Mother's Day comes. It also works as a confirmation gift for a young woman who likes fine, elegant pieces she can wear to work or out to dinner.
